Scientists May Have Found A Solution To World Hunger Using Electricity And Air

In many western civilizations, food waste is a huge problem contributing to many environmental and financial issues.

For example, if you spend $1000 per month on food and 25-percent of it gets thrown away or goes bad, you’ve wasted $250 that could have been spent elsewhere. Likewise, paying $50 for a meal for two at a restaurant where only 75-percent of the food gets consumed is also wasteful.

A team of Finnish scientists have made food using just electricity and air which is leading many experts to believe what the team discovered could pose a solution to world hunger and eliminate food waste.

The researchers created a batch of “single-cell protein” which has enough nutrition to be served as a meal!

“In the long term, protein created with electricity is meant to be used in cooking and products as it is. The mixture is very nutritious, with more than 50-percent protein and 25-percent carbohydrates.

The rest is fats and nucleic acids. The consistency of the final product can be modified by changing the organisms used in the production.”
